Ubuntu 20.04 needs `libxcb-xinerama.so.0`
and Debian 10 needs `libxcb-util.so.1` for the Qt `xcb` plugin.

Yes, it did work in 4.2.3 which used PyQt5 5.13.2. I just had a look at the xcb plugin and it definitely has less dependencies:
```
ago@ubuntu2004vm:~/src/Electron-Cash/dist$ ldd squashfs-root/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so|grep xcb

compared to PyQt5 5.15.2 in 4.2.4:

The `git clean --dry-run` became redundant with "fresh clone" builds.
The new exclude in MANIFEST.in should not affect production builds (also due to fresh clone),
but they are nice when building from dirty local dir.
Had to also bump ubuntu version 18.04->20.04,
as was getting errors running the self-compiled pyinstaller otherwise (weird...):
```
from .utils.git import get_repo_revision
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyInstaller.utils'
```
(similar to https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4403 )

Note re appimage: when trying to compile python 3.8.x on ubuntu 16.04, I am getting:
./Modules/posixmodule.c: In function ‘os_copy_file_range_impl’:
./Modules/posixmodule.c:10351:15: error: implicit declaration of function ‘copy_file_range’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
ret = copy_file_range(src, p_offset_src, dst, p_offset_dst, count, flags);
This is because ubuntu 16.04 has too old glibc.
If there is a collision between a branch name and a commit hash, git
will choose the branch, even if the full 40-hex-long commit hash is
given. GitHub disallows branches/tags with such a name but git itself
does not. By adding the `^{commit}` syntax sugar after a ref name,
we can tell git that we want the commit hash to be preferred,
and hence we don't need to trust GitHub (only git).
see https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/225411/
All (incl indirect) dependencies are already listed in deterministic-build/requirements*.txt.
This option makes it easier to manually rm a dependency from that list for e.g. testing.
Slightly reduces file size, improves build speed and makes build more
reproducible.
The .comment section contained GCC version information which could cause
different build output from just a minor update in GCC. The information is not
needed so we strip this.
The strip command was invoked using xargs, spawning a new process for each file.
This is inefficient as xargs can correctly run the strip command with multiple
file names.
